The shredded looks a little dry and the chucks look a little to wet.

7, the shredded pork looks like mulch or wood chips. Try something better with arrangement. The meat doesn't look good it looks dry.

The chunks look beautiful. The pulled pork would benefit from a little more bark being included to add some visual interest

KCBS CBJ x 5 yrs

Score: 7

Just doesn't look very exciting. The pulled portion looks dull and drab, possibly dry. The chunks do look a bit more inviting. It is placed neatly in the box and appropriately on the garnish. May score an 8 in live judging if it looks a little moister in person.

Purpose

The purpose of BBQ Critic's JudgeMyBox section is to provide feedback to competition cooks. Certified BBQ Judges who visit this site will score the photo of a contest box (using KCBS judging rules) and may optionally leave a comment explaining their score.

The idea is to allow the cook to get inside the mind of a judge (judges do have varying opinions) so they can use this information to help improve scores on APPEARANCE.

In turn, the BBQ Critic editorial team will provide feedback on some judge scores and commentary that stray from the KCBS rules. This will help our judges become better judges and keeps everyone on the same page. Judges may also encounter some fun challenges at times (click for example).Comments about boxes or judges scores may be discussed in our online FORUM in a respectful manner.Please be mindful that scoring photo boxes may not be as accurate as scoring the box in person. Lighting, glare, angles, etc may affect the overall score. Judges also have more time to stare at your box, so that means we may get very detailed about the good and the bad.
